Rescue Wildlife from Rodenticides. Don't use posion. As fall temperatures drop small rodents like mice and rats can relocate into homes. These animals live inside homes and go outside to forage for food, where they are eaten by larger predators. As a result, large predators like owls and hawks can be harmed if a small mamal has eaten posion put out by humans.
Raptors, coyotes, and other predators balance Massachusetts' ecosystems. But shocking numbers of these iconic creatures have been sickened and killed after eating poisoned rodents. Mass Audubon's Rescue Raptors program supports groups in communities across Massachusetts to reduce the use of these poisons, and wildlife advocates in the western MA have organized two campaign teams, Rescue Berkshires Wildlife and Rescue CT River Valley Wildlife. Join a hybrid event in the Berkshires or CT River Valley to learn how rodent poisons harm wildlife and their plans to reduce rodent poison use in western MA.
Instructions: This is a free hybrid event. For in-person participation please join us at Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, 472 W Mountain Rd, Lenox, MA 01240 on Wednesday, October 16th 5:30-7:00 or Monday, October 28th 5:30-7:00.
